Houses are in bright red

0

so im trying to add houses around Magnolia Close, here https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=18/52.30565/0.49022 and for some reason the houses are bright red and when I attempt to scroll over them all the other houses dissapear.

How do I fix this?

Somehow this changeset seems to have uploaded duplicates of many of the buildings such as this one duplicated as this one. I don't know how this has happened or whether his might be why you are seeing what you are seeing - I didn't get to see anything disappear, although buildings weren't visible until I zoomed far enough in. I'm guessing you could try deleting the duplicates and seeing if it helps. It might be easier to edit this in Potlatch 2 as it is fairly obvious where two nodes are exactly on top of each other (by the red dots on the corner of the buildings), but I know that better than iD (the default editor). I notice in iD that the particularly red houses, such as this one have more than one duplicate - this example is one of 7 ways on top of each other.
